i'll try it later as soon as i change my internet workstation
but i juz did some works and now i CAN see all my HTC Home feature, but the resolution is VERY small~
example, on the screenshots i seen around this forum, the HTC Home GUI typically occupies 1/2 of the screen
but mine only occupies 1/4 of the screen..

That's probably happening because the version of HTC Home you have installed isn't hex-edited to use \HTCHome as directory as opposed to the default of \Windows.
I was working on some stuff for the VGA version for awhile, I compiled a couple cabs floating around and replaced QVGA graphics in the HTC Home Customizer installer with VGA ones. If you want to look at any of it my thread is on PPCGeeks (sorry): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=51801
As usual with these types of things, I take no responsibility for any issues that might arise from using this.

Hi,
could you please advise on the next step i should take?
i tried downloading the 3 files on the first post but this was the message i got
indigo22, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

HTC Plus

Find this from other forum. Work fine on my HTC Trinity.
More screenshot
oh its taing too much of real estate My screen area!
Does it support VGA?
Backlight working ?
Does the backlight button work with this release ? In the other version your device will freeze at bootup....anyone tested already ?
btw: seems to be the same version like in the other post....
Cheers
Edit:
Could not wait Just installed, no problems on my device (Artemis) and Backlight-button. Looks cool.
What i don't like: in the GUI-Config you can only add apps from the Programs-directory (for example: when you want to add solitaire (which is stored in "Games"), you need to move the shortcut into the Programs-Folder....or you need to add the registry-key in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts manually....or am i wrong ?
But in the end.... i think i stay with HTC Home....
Works on Artemis?!

It's interenting that you had no problems. I also installed on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and yes, it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers
Anybody tried this on a Touch?
The "other" Version (as petervbeck says) in the Hermes Forum doesn't work on the Touch.
I doesn't work on my Touch!
Working on Wizard
HTC Plus is Working on Wizard!
just 2 bugs:
when you select battery status in Customization and you tab on the symbol you go to wifi settings and backlight is not working

I'm using Tom's 4.1 full and as i said, no problems. But in fact- i like HTC Home more, but that's my opinion.... on my device i had no problem with hanging boots or something similar, i tested all the buttons....but not for a long time...then i switched back to HTC home...that's my expirience with Plus..

How about a little credit where credit is due? This is the same version I posted in the Hermes forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326689
Today I posted an updated version that should help some people who had problems with it.
This tool was non-functional when I found it. I had to dissassemble the dlls to find out why the utility would not work (missing HTCImgCodec.dll).

Is the "aplication launching pad" of HTC plus finger-scrollable, or the only way to scroll is by tapping on the arrow?
TIA
Can anyone confirm that it uses less memory than HTC Home?

how do you remove HTC plus!? I like it but it freezes my PPC6700 sometimes. I don't use it but I cannot remove it from the today settings menu. Thanks
I do not know if this plugin supports VGA. If you have a VGA device, try it out and let us know.

Hi guys,
Ive downloaded Touch-ITs very good touch flo and so started to download other programs. So far ive done the keyboard and that works a treat.
Problem is ive downloaded the mp3 trimmer and social network engine installed them but cant find them anywhere...how do i access them? can these be used as tabs on the touchflo screen as i really like the interface?

mp3trimmer already comes WITH itje's rom. no need to install it again. which "social network engine" are you talking about?
you'll find all programs if you click "start" (upper left) and then "all programs" (lower left).
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154 to get the cabs and installed them. Cant find the option to trim MP3s at all. and i downloaded the Touch-It Blackstone Social Network engine. Any ideas?
Im hoping that by downloading the engine that the social networking sites would pop up under the internet tab where youtube is...you know where i mean?
oh, my mistake. you installed the cab and not his rom with manila cooked in...
okay, i'm sorry, but i never used stock rom with manila-cab. but i can tell you this:
- manila works best if cooked in, use a custom rom (i.e. itje's touch-it v.10. but there are many good roms, have a look in the rom-developing-part)
- the cab you used is from november 2008, there's a newer version out now
- "social engine": never saw it in the internet tab, it connects your contacts with a corresponding facebook-friend.
so, bottom line:
programs should show where i told you above, even in the cab i think. and: manila as a cab is slow, cooked-in it flies these days.

I am LOST, however up for installing whatever makes it run that little bit smoother! I like the look of manila i am using now but if there is an upto date one then i can give that a go.
I havent found the ROM you suggested but will keep looking, the first thread i came across (the main one) seems to have the download links removed, any ideas?
Thanks so far mate, youve been a star
Ahhhh think i have found the ROM now just waiting for the file to download now for the installation...

typing this from my mobile, so to keep it short:
- you need to apply "hard-spl" first to flash a custom rom (it's a sticky)
- if you're flashing itje's v.10.2, be aware that there is a bug for some people with sending sms. i NEVER had it though. also you'll need to apply 2 or 3 fixes.
- READ READ READ!
if you're going to flash ANY custom rom you'll have to learn a lot. "just install and everything's perfect" won't work. and everytime you flash a new rom you'll loose all data on your phone, so make backup first!!!
if you're willing to get into this - do it. it's worth it and it will really improve your x1. if you want to have everything working out of the box with many restrictions - apple makes such a device...
Ill let you know how i get on, im just loading 10.2 now so we shall see

have fun then.
hope you did a backup of your data - if not, don't come yelling if it's all gone...
edit: the fixes needed
since the thread on v10 is pretty much to read (it started as v7...), for starters the 3 fixes needed with this version.
- Advanced Network (found in itje's first post, under the dl-link for the rom itself)
- "v10.2_corrected_highlights.zip" (also posted by itje, somewhere in the thread, search for it)
extract the files in these two zips to your \windows-directory (on your x1) with total commander (comes with the rom)
- v10.2_smaberg_1_percent_battery.cab (install normally. this fixes a bug that the battery-meter always shows 100% full. alternatively you could install another icon-set from this forum. watch out if they're for WinMob 6.1 or 6.5 though!)
the cooked-in build of opera mobile 9.5 doesn't work with the hardware-keyboard of xperia. either install build 16194 (iit's from an official x1-rom) or try opera mobile 9.7 beta.
every other question you should ask in the thread of the rom you've chosen.
this should set you up, from here on it's all tweaking, lots of reading, learning and adding apps to your likeness.
i have a problem like this one: i installed the touch it manila cab and then i installed the touch it htc album but... i cannot find the program... what do i have to do?
EDIT: ok i found two exe files in the windows folder wich are : HTCAlbum.exe and AlbumSearch.exe, and when i run each of them i have HTC Album... btw the problem is that i have no text in the menus... what may be the problem?
Thanks for all the advice guys...im installed and up and running and so far so good, no issues at all, the sms seems to be working fine etc.
Ill apply the fixes as noted so far as and when i come across the issues!
Cheers again all

This is the crucial bit, and still seems to be working
http://www.planete-htc.com/index.php?mod=forum&ac=voir&id=20612&debut=20&cat=237
It is in French but the gist of it is, when installing DO NOT let your screen turn off!!! and it takes AGES to install, about 20-30 minutes.
Once it is installed, reboot and you have the default HTC black theme, with white fonts. You can then install any theme you want without CFC compression

I've tried this and it works great. The only thing you loose is the TF3D 2.1 Facebook integration that was on the Vodafone UK version.
I've installed the black cab and the touch of blue theme, along with the manilla today page, so pretty happy.
Is there a way to bring back the facebook intergration with the contacts on the vodafone TP2, as I quite enjoyed the updates to my contacts pictures.
Over on the topaz section there's a facebook intergration thread with fixes, could this work on ours, I might give it a try and see

I never used Sony's Panels before. It is cool, I really like the Facebook panel. Too bad there is some problems with text input

i am using the htc stock 6.5 rom
i got everything working but pixel city and growing panel, are they supposed to work?? When i click on them it gives me an error about a player. also, how do you remove a favorite from the main manager screen? i have a blank spot where the nonfunctioning growing panel used to be and i can't seem to get rid of it....
thanks for this!
is this like a replacement for sense ui?
Workable on other devices?
May i know would this home plugin work for Omnia II wm6.5 stock rom or it will face the problem of permission? Thank You.
ark,
Its work great on my TP2 WM6.5 B23504 , great work.
- Like the facebook app very match, to me it much better than the m$ one, cool.
- RSS reader shows rss on screen, really nice.
Improvement:
- Screen abit out may be is because of the new WM interface which has "Start" button at below, or may be couse by "manilaFixPosition".

Maybe you should create a programs file folder, and copy PM stuf to it.
I may give this a try. Before I do, does anyone know if this uninstalls fully and without problems if you want to get rid of it?
Also, will anyone bother making panels that work on the TP2 for this?
I tried to install the app, however i still get the error message, it says about permission or you have component missing. I have installed it in order, and then the panels.
May i know how to solve this permission problem.Thanks

HTC Sense and WM Today

Can both HTC Sense and WM Today pages coexist similar to the way SPB Shell works by have the Today page in the background?
There was a program called "TouchFlo Detacher" that I used on my Touch HD. Now I know this won't work with Sense, as it's designed to work with TouchFlo, but I'd imagine that it would be a simple change to put in the relevant class names for the Sense UI.
It replaced one of your softkeys with a toggle button so you could flip between TouchFlo and Today, and it was VERY fast! (It didn't close and later re-open TouchFlo - it simply hides it as Today is always in the background.)
Have a search for TouchFlo Detacher and ask the author if he'd be interested. He may ask you to beta test it for him
Edit:
Here you go - I found it for you...

Looks good, but I personally don't like MortScript, so would rather a windows app, like the above-mentioned one.
I just recently installed M2D on my LG Incite and installed the communcations cab thing and got it to work but, after I had to hard reset and now I cannot figure out how to get the communcations tab to start working again.
